Eternal MIDI Instrument Patches Please Help
LPX
I'm trying to use external MIDI synths. I have a Fantom XR and a Motif Rack ES
I've found a "layer" for the Fantom online (I've got one for the Motif as well, but let's tackle one at a time).
I've imported it into the MIDI Environment (though I'm not sure if I'm even doing that right)
Now what?
It imports 8 boxes with 16 MIDI channels (I assume) with different names representing the different factory presets (and expansion cards which I don't have). These are each connected to an output box and cable switcher, and on-screen keyboard (which you can't even drag around) with "cables".
I can open each box and see the correct patch names. But I can't get any further than that. How do I get those patch names to show up in the inspector?
I am at my wits end here.
I want to create an External MIDI Track, and when I choose Fantom XR as the output (which I have set up already) I want to be able to select the patch from the pull down list in the Inspector?
I've played with it, and somehow selected the Drum Patches (which is one of those boxes) and when I create a new track, it does in fact have the Drum Patches available. However, once I've done that, any new track I create also has only the drum patches. If I go back into the MIDI Environment and select another box, new tracks still come up as only the drum ones.
As it stands, pre-import, any new EMI track I create just gives me the default 128 MIDI patches. Once I import this layer, it does show me all these boxes with the correct names in the MIDI Environment, but I can't figure out any way to get to them...
